Like all the service packs that Microsoft released for their older operating systems, the Windows 8.1 was much-awaited. Windows
8.1 brings one of the most requested features: the Start button and other interesting updates. They tried to improve the Metro
interface and made it more appealing for the fans of the classic interface.

Considering that Windows 8 was such a radical upgrade, not that much really needed changing. I’m really liking the consistent look between the PC and smartphone. These minor changes will make the UI even better.

So far the preview is only available for those who already have W8 installed – ISO install files are not yet available.

After Windows 8 crashed down at the market, Windows 8.1 is the final hope for Microsoft to stock up.

Good to see the start button back ..and the ability to customize their screens better would surely attract many people …as they always want to have control of their screens as much as they can ..Windows 8.1 would surely boost the sales for microsoft .

Hi James,
I also learnt that it has an option to bypass metro screen and boot to desktop directly, which lacks in Windows 8.
By the way, do I need to install Windows 8.1 manually or is there an option to upgrade and keep the files?

I have used Windows 8 it is not as user friendly as Windows 7, though it is beautifully designed. But Windows 8.1 has changed my mind and i think that it would be better than Windows 8

the start button is irrelevant to me for windows 8… when i first started using win 8 i missed it and thought i need it, but then i realized it wasn’t needed. Was a truly loyal to win7 but 8 beats it hands down. is 8.1 really necessary?

Frankly speaking, windows 8 is not getting popular as the windows 7 was in it’s past. But, after the windows 8.1 update release I feel It’s gonna be accepted by most of the windows lovers.
Thanks for sharing the windows 8.1 features and update.

Happy to see the start button back on the desktop.
And the setting to land directly on the desktop after booting is really helpful.
Thank you.
